NCA ECC 2.0 — COMPLIANCE

Are You Truly Compliant with
Saudi Arabia's ECC?

The National Cybersecurity Authority's Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC-1:2018) are a mandatory baseline for every organization operating in the Kingdom. Most believe they're compliant. Most are wrong.

What Is ECC and Why It Matters

The Essential Cybersecurity Controls (ECC-1:2018) define the minimum security baseline required by the NCA for all government and critical infrastructure organizations in Saudi Arabia. Non-compliance isn't just a regulatory risk — it's a direct business risk.

A single unaddressed gap in your Governance or Defense domain can result in a breach that costs millions in remediation, reputational damage, and potential regulatory action. SOC Root maps every one of your active controls against the full ECC framework in real time — so you're never caught off guard.

All 5 ECC Domains Covered

Cybersecurity Governance

Policy frameworks, risk ownership, roles and accountability — the foundation everything else is built on.

Cybersecurity Defense

Endpoint protection, vulnerability management, network segmentation, and continuous external scanning.

Cybersecurity Resilience

Incident response plans, business continuity, disaster recovery, and backup integrity testing.

Third-Party Cybersecurity

Vendor risk assessments, contractual cybersecurity requirements, and securing supply chains.
